Samsung Galaxy A7 (SM-A700S) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A700S firmware?
A700SKSS1CRL1, released January 9, 2019 with Android 4.4.4. It is a security update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 18 official builds across 1 region (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy A7 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since January 2019, so Android 6.0.1 is the last version this model got. The final builds below are still the best choice for a clean reinstall.
